Poem
The truth has experienced a hard time these days With alternative facts, distorted reality twittering in viscous ways You would expect down right good sense to somehow prevail As common sense is no longer common and seems to have gone to hell Spin doctors and scandal adjusters are raking in billions To present an alternative truth to the American millions They are now attacking the press for speaking truth to power And those in high positions have tried to fortify their towers Narcissistic liars are now in control I just pray that God watches over all of our souls Now Jesus is the truth and Jesus is the Word Just do not believe those political shysters no matter what you've heard To be a fact checkers like those folks called Bereans To read and search the Holy Scripture and not just believe what you're seeing To see reality and call it what it be To simply tell the truth without any discrepancy To now be true to yourself with a self examination To acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses with full explanation No longer to let society whitewash facts and diminish your history As a child of God you're a strong African American with your own story The truth will set us free and we need to realize That lies and falsehoods are like a Cracker Jacks box prize Shiny on the outside pretty at first sight But unlike the truth never to stay upright
